Related Terms
External Links

For more information on templates available on this site, see Help:Templates


Related Terms

Related terms are entered as a level 2 header. Terms on this site are linked using double brackets, for example

== Related Terms ==

[[Mass Spectrometry]]

The internal link renders as

Mass Spectrometry

Any text within double brackets is treated as a page on this site (even if it doesn't exist yet).


External Links

External links are entered as a level 2 header. External links are input using single brackets, for example

== External Links ==

[http://www.asms.org/ ASMS Website]

The link renders as

ASMS Website

Note that the general format is "[" followed by the URL, followed by a space, then the text for the link, then "]".


Categories

All term pages should be put into at least one category. This is done by adding

[[Category:Some Important Things]]

at the bottom of the page, where Some Important Things is the category name. When the page is rendered, a link to the category will be put in a box at the page bottom.

The list of cagegories for the MS terms Wiki is on this page
